Ahead of its debut at next month's Geneva International Motor Show, Škoda has released some details about the VisionS. Officially, this new concept “gives an insight into how Škoda’s future SUV design language might look.”
However, “might” should be replaced with “will”, because a production version is surely destined to follow. And, with accommodation for six people across three rows of seats, the showroom model is going to be an important addition to the brand's range.

In terms of size, a length of 4.70 m (15’ 5”) makes the VisionS significantly larger than the 4.22 m (13’ 10”) Škoda Yeti. That measurement also means it sits virtually mid-way between Volkswagen's Touran and Sharan people carriers, thereby neatly avoiding any direct intra-group comparisons.

Given recent emissions-related events, Škoda has wisely eschewed diesel power for the concept car. Instead, an innovative petrol-electric hybrid system is fitted.
